LUDHIANA: AmanDua, a city-based consultant dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon, has always believed that books are her best friends.

"I have read all sorts of books, starting from cartoon comics in school to romantic novels, poetry books, inspirational books, medical thrillers, books on self-development and so on. I have read books of Khushwant Singh, Robin Sharma to name a few. Recently I read all three books of Amish Tripathi. In short, I read a lot that has interested me," says Aman.

She developed taste for English classic literature and legendary authors like Charles Dickens, Tolstoy made their way into her array of reading preferences. "I also love Punjabi literature a lot. I love writings of famous Punjabi poet Shiv Batalvi," she adds.

"In all, books are your best friends, they are the best companions. In my family --- my husband, 11-year-old and I --- we all love reading books. There are times when we all are at home; all three of us have books in our hands. I am very happy that my son loves to spend his free time reading books than watching TV or playing video games."

In inspirational books, Aman finds Paulo Coelho's Alchemist excellent book to read. "It is a very well written book and helps open your horizon and perspective," she says.
